What else can I help you with?
Is lipids an inorganig molecule?
Lipids are organic molecules. The definition of an organic molecule is a molecule that contains carbon.
What is lipophilic means?
It must be something between these three definition. (hope it's great help!) 1.adj. having a strong affinity for lipids. 2.adj. promoting the dissolvability or absorbability of lipids. 3. adj. Having an affinity for, tending to combine with, or capable of dissolving in lipids.
What is a short definition of smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
An organelle in a cell responsible for making lipids and breaking down toxic chemicals.
What is the definition of saponifiable lipids?
Saponifiable lipids are a class of lipids that can undergo saponification, a chemical process where they react with an alkali to produce glycerol and fatty acid salts (soaps). This group primarily includes triglycerides, phospholipids, and waxes, which possess ester bonds that can be broken down by alkaline hydrolysis. Unlike non-saponifiable lipids, such as steroids and fat-soluble vitamins, saponifiable lipids can be converted into simpler components through this reaction.
What is lipids or fats?
Lipids are broadly defined as molecules that are hydrophobic (insoluble in water) or ampiphilic (possessing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties). Phospholipids are a subgroup of ampiphilic lipids which contain a negatively charged phosphate group.
What is definition of organic compound and some examples?
Some examples of organic compounds are lipids butane and propane... The actual definition of it I am unsure of but by my understanding it is a compound with living origin and/or used as a building block for life
Are fats and oils an example of protein?
No. Proteins are amino acid based. Fats and oils are lipids. One obvious way to see that oils and fats are not proteins is to take note that amino acids, by definition have lots of nitrogen in them. Lipids don't.
Why in lipids hydrogen and oxygen is not in the ratio 21?
Because there's no reason that should be true. The definition of "lipid" has nothing to do with the oxygen/hydrogen ratio.
What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
Are steroids lipids?
No, steroids belong to lipids, but not all lipids are steroids: eg. natural fats or oils are triglyceridic lipids, not steroidic lipids
Which macromolecule provides insulation and helps animal conserve heat?
That is the lipids. It is a good insulator.
Which ckass of macromolecules is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
The most common example is lipids.
